In Reply to: Choosing attenuator resistances 10K/100K/250K posted by Bryan F. on December 09, 1999 at 15:33:40:
When at 100% there is no attenuation, wether 10k or 250kohms. The attenuator's impedance should match the circuit following it, and at the same time not load the source. 100k would be the safest since that's the original value, though either should work fine.
You need more gain if you want to play louder, a different attenuator will not make the preamp play louder.
Attenuators sure sound better than pots though, it a good upgrade.
I only asked about more head room as I was reading an article where the peron claimed that using a 250K attenuator yielded more head room. I have three recordings that require full attenuation to reach half the level it takes on every other recording. So I figured since I was replacing the pot anyway that I'd see if this was true.It seems that I need to decide between 10K and 100K. As since my source is ss 10K should work fine.
Thanks for the input!
